Chapter 278 [Medium-term Transaction, Lewd Manager]
On the 14th, the Suns played back-to-back home games against the Magic.
Magic star Maddy is currently the league's leading scorer, averaging 30.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and his popularity has soared, and he is expected to be selected as an All-Star starter for the first time in his career.
However, the overall strength of the Magic is very poor, and in the summer Magic brought in the "Rain Man" Sean Kemp, plus the "Glass Man" Grant Hill in the team, they completely exploded the league in terms of bad contracts, and there is no solution.
After the start of the game, the two rookies of the Suns' "Template Camp" faced the current fat camp and staged a good show of the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves and shooting Camp to death on the beach.
Camp is now about the same size as Haslem, and his movement speed is slower than Haslem's, and he can't defend against pick-and-rolls at all. After Magic point guard Armstrong was blocked, Guo Xu immediately got a chance to shoot, and only needed to move sideways with a two-step pull-up jump shot.
Camp changed the defense of Guo Xu, the Magic team will die even worse, Guo Xu took two steps to find a gap to the middle of the point is a violent dunk, after the side inside the cover, the big forward Pat Garriti changed the defense is the same situation, the inside inside cut to attack the basket, basically to end the offense with a violent dunk.
Maddie can't get along with his teammates, and his style of play is heads-up, attracting packs and assisting teammates. In the face of Marion's long-arm interference, Maddie's shooting percentage is not high, and no matter how much he scores, it is in vain, and he gets it in exchange for a high shot.
This Hill played, his physical fitness has dropped sharply after two consecutive seasons of reimbursement, and he can't and dare not change his direction as much as he did back then, and he can't take advantage of Joe Johnson, a sophomore.
There was also a hilarious tidbit on the court, when D'Antoni called a timeout, Magic backup point guard Jacqui Vaughn ran to the side of the Suns to eavesdrop. Guo Xu didn't rush anyone when he saw it, and listened together with Vaughn's shoulder.
It's useless to eavesdrop on the Suns' tactics, which translates into the vernacular as "Everybody rush up, Blind Chicken BD." ”
When people who can run get together, this tactic is very powerful, especially in the regular season. The Suns led by 25 points after three quarters, and the game went into garbage time early.
Guo Xu didn't play in the last quarter, and he played a total of 30 minutes and got a double-double of 31 points and 11 assists, which was super efficient. The Suns scored in double figures with five players, Stoudamire had 20 points and 7 rebounds, Nene had 17 points and 6 rebounds, Marion had 16 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists, and Joe Johnson had 13 points and 5 assists.
After this game, the Suns players were given two days off before arriving on the 17th to play away against the underdogs.
The media predicted that the Suns would continue their winning streak, the Hawks were no big deal, with 10 wins and 13 losses outside the playoffs, while the Suns went crazy on the offensive end, scoring more than 110 points in two consecutive games.
On the afternoon of the 15th, manager Brian Colangelo called Guo Xu and D'Antoni into the office.
"Both, I want to talk to you about the deal, it's not easy to send Chacalidis away, only two teams are willing to want him, I want to ask you who you want."
D'Antoni asked: "What are the two teams?" Tell me about the situation. ”
"One is the Mavericks, and they're willing to send small forward Walter Williams," Bryan said. ”
The Mavericks were anxious to trade for a center, and they started the game well and are now slipping in the game. Starting center Lafrentz has dropped to nine points and five rebounds this season and will be out for six to eight weeks with a knee injury last week.
In 2002, after Lafrentz became a free agent, the Nuggets offered him a seven-year, $70 million contract. However, the Nuggets didn't do it for long, and they traded Lafrentz to the Mavericks in the middle of the season. In 27 games for the Mavericks, he had just 10.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks.
Guo Xu shook his head. "It's impossible for us to trade a meat shield center at the top of our game for a veteran who is about to retire, he's useless, what about the other team?"
"The Grizzlies are willing to send swingman Gordon Kirisek as a bench, and unfortunately, these two are the only ones who want to trade." Brian sighed.
D'Antoni smiled: "Then change to Kirisek, at least he has a lot of experience in European games and can shoot threes, Jason, what do you think?" ”
"Just him, if he can shoot three points, he can play." Guo Xu agreed, he was more satisfied with this swing man, and Bichacalidis was suitable for the Suns.
THE YUGOSLAV KIRISEK, 198CM TALL AND WEIGHING 95 KG, WAS SELECTED BY THE MAVERICKS IN THE SECOND ROUND IN 1999 AND TRADED TO THE SPURS. Then he had been playing in Europe, and the Spurs got impatient and traded him to the Grizzlies for a 2004 second-round pick. This summer, he joined the Grizzlies.
Unlike Guo Xu's previous life, the Grizzlies lineup has changed a lot, focusing on interior offense, and the outside players are not responsible for holding the ball at all, and there is no ball possession, and Kirisek's position is very awkward.
In the summer, the Grizzlies traded the super-athletic parallel goods eye Swift for the Magic's swingman Mike Miller, plus Wisley Persson, Mike Dunleavy and other swingmen, Kirisek barely played, averaging only 9 minutes per game, with 4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.5 assists.
Not playing does not mean that there is no strength, in Guo Xu's previous life, Kirisek performed very well as soon as he entered the league and was selected for the second team of the best rookie team. He has average start-up speed, but he is good at pull-up jumpers, outstanding three-point shooting, and good enough for bench use.
The Grizzlies brought in Chacalidis in order to enrich the team's defensive plays, and Gasol and Randolph are both suited to play forward rather than center. No matter who plays as a center forward, they can't defend the penalty area well. Find a meat shield center, and when you meet a team that is good at attacking the basket, you can send him to the top of the court.
In the eyes of Grizzlies management, Chacalidis is still very good, after all, he is cheap, and an annual salary of 1 million can play the role of Jazz's high-paid center "Big White Bear".
After talking about the transaction, Brian smiled and said, "There is another thing I want to discuss with you, and I have thought of a way to let us know some of the opponent's on-the-spot response tactics." ”
"What?" D'Antoni and Guo Xu said in unison, both feeling that this thing sounded incredible.
Seeing the Magic players running to the side of the Suns to eavesdrop on the tactics, manager Brian suddenly had an inspiration.
It's too easy to let players eavesdrop on tactics, and if you let fans on the sidelines eavesdrop on tactics, can the opponent see it?
Bryan said his thoughts, when the Suns play at home in the future, arrange a staff member who understands the ball behind the away team's bench to watch the game, and when the opponent calls a timeout to adjust the tactical substitution, try to eavesdrop as much as possible, edit the mobile phone text message and send it to D'Antoni.
The spectator box is behind the away team's bench, and it's easy to put an undercover agent behind the manager, and the home team generally doesn't sell season tickets in this position, because the teams are worried that there will be fans who provoke the away team's players, and as long as there is a disturbance, the home team will definitely be fined.
Brian is really good at doing some small movements behind his back, which is his favorite thing to do, Guo Xu, as a reborn, was dumbfounded after hearing his thoughts.
This product is too obscene, and it is worthy of the guy who will build a bunch of Twitter trumpets to spray people everywhere in the future, and let his wife come out to take the blame after being exposed. Guo Xu estimated that this thing had definitely not done this kind of thing once or twice in his previous life, and he had his credit for the strength of the sun.
